#1 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf 3.0.0 is here! » 2020-06-20 06:48:16
thanks to all involved for the great work.
I was using ascii (2.1) After including the beowulf repositories in sources.list and running
suo apt-get updateI ran
sudo apt-get upgrade everything went smoothly.
I want to work for a few days before I run
sudo apt-get dist-upgradeWill it be correct to claim that I am now running beowulf, or am I still on ascii.

I am writing below what worked for me, please do this at your own risk !!!
The dependencies for the package usrmerge available in Beowulf are
debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0
perl:any
libfile-find-rule-perl
as given in https://pkginfo.devuan.org/stage/beowul … ge_21.html
since usrmerge is not available for Ascii, but debconf 1.5.61 and perl are already installed in any standard ascii installation , after installing 'libfile-find-rule-perl' using apt or apt-get, download "usrmerge" from either Devuan Beowulf or Debian Buster and install it manually using
sudo dpkg --install usrmerge_21_all.debYou will receive a prompt that the procedure cannot be reversed, and when confirmed the package will be successfully installed.
if you do this on an installation where /usr and / are in seperate partitions, you should run
sudo update-initramfs -k all -ubefore you reboot.
